My 10-year odyssey of motion sickness research.

[Nature Metabolism @NatMetabolism]

RESEARCH BRIEFING | @longlong_tu, @DrYongXu1 et al. (@bcmhouston):

Vestibular nucleus mediation of motion sickness has implications for #obesity control 🧠

https://t.co/pZ6peSsFW6

[Longlong (Lucas) Tu @longlong_tu]

One postdoctoral position is available in the group to study the neurobiology of motion sickness and the interface with metabolism.

[From the Labs at Baylor College of Medicine @BCMFromtheLabs]

Understanding of how the #brain regulates #bodyTemperature during #motionSickness may provide unconventional targets for the treatment of #obesity. @DrYongXu1 @longlong_tu et al explain their findings @NatMetabolism @bcmhouston #BCMPostdoc https://t.co/slOXo0o19H

[From the Labs at Baylor College of Medicine @BCMFromtheLabs]

A personal interest in #motionSickness led them to discovering potential new options for treating #obesity. @DrYongXu1 @longlong_tu explain. @NatMetabolism @bcmhouston #BCMPostdoc #brainCircuit https://t.co/wfm2pp9u9w

[Dr. Yong Xu @DrYongXu1]

We described a neural mechanism for motion-induced hypothermia which can also be targeted to treat obesity. Congratulations to ⁦@longlong_tu⁩ who started this scientific journey trying to understand his own miserable suffering from motion sickness. https://t.co/kIksH92WuS

Cellular crosstalk in skeletal muscle? A surprising role for mast cells? Histamine as a signal transducer during exercise? This was an amazing ride during my time @TeamDerave, now published in @Cell_Metabolism (1/11)

🚨❗️🚨 New Paper Alert
My postdoctoral work now out in @Nature. We find that sensory neurons drive breast cancer metastasis via an activity-dependent paracrine signalling mechanism mediated by substance-P, extracellular ssRNA & TLR7 receptor. (1/11)
